How to Wear a White Blazer

David Gandy is a rare breed of stylish man that still prefers dressing up to wearing jeans or sweats. So when it comes to figuring out how to wear a tricky piece of tailoring, he’s a good person to look up. Case in point: white suit jackets. While the crispy tailored jackets have dominated the red carpet lately, Gandy's one of the only guys who's made a white blazer a go-to move for more casual events. He makes it look as easy as slipping on a crewneck t-shirt. We can all learn from his badassery. Here, two times he nailed the summer jacket and how to cop his steez. Because, done right, it’s a move that win you all kinds of points at summer gatherings.

You may have avoided the white blazer up until now because you didn’t want to come off like a naval officer or a sailing yuppie. The easiest way around that issue is to style the jacket with rustic blues and browns instead of black and navy, to squash any sea captain vibes.

For an event that starts during the day and bleeds into evening, try wearing the jacket with dark trousers and a crewneck t-shirt in the same shade. It’s a look that has a little bit of ‘90s minimalism to it, but in the best way. Bonus points if you can do wavy, been-on-a-boat-all-day hair like Gandy here.
